I am having a significant level of loading failures in 2025 with "Incorrect file format, file should be from PTC Mathcad Prime" and "File contains corrupted data" errors as the causes:.  23 cases are appended. What is most concerning is that projects that have been used to launch improved models a few days earlier as well as intentional project copies, both cannot be opened then or a few months later.   Is anyone else seeing an increase?  The "incorrect file format" is a new error for me.  It looks like it may be necessary to store PDF copies of projects, as some of these programs are 50-100 pages in length and will take days to weeks to reconstitute. Two .mcdx programs I tried to upload were rejected as having as having an incorrect file extension..  Is there something wrong with the title "250525, Tac7C+Weatherstation, corrected firmware, threaded slab heater, slope analysis.mcdx" ?

Whichever file I import into Creo (I tried two separate vendors with Inventor, random Grabcad models, and even exporting simple block from Creo and then reimporting it back) - it only imports as a surface. The geometry is fine (no errors) and I can easily solidify it, but I don't seem to be able to find a way how to do this automatically. I am importing large assemblies made by subcontractors with hundreds of parts, so turning each part into solid isn't an option.  I have all geometry "enhancements" disabled, and all the other settings seemingly correct:   Regardless, the Import feature always defaults to "Add Surfaces".Most often I am able to just change it to "Add bodies", or Solidify the geometry outside the "Import" feature - so there are no issues with the geometry I assume:  I looked but I couldn't find a config.pro setting to force Creo to default to "Add bodies" instead of "Add Surfaces" (or other means to solidify the geometry). Is there any

I am working on a project to create a UDF library for screw threads in Creo 10.0.4.0 The goal is to have the user enter the nominal OD and TPI for UN threads and get the appropriate geometry driven by relations based off ISO 228 My problem is that it is unclear how to implement these. When I follow the instructions here after selecting features ( To Define Variable Parameters in a UDF ) the dialogue box suggested on step 3 just doesn't open, and the dialogue box stays at 'All elements have been defined. Select element(s) or action(s) from the dialogue box'. Features that are relation-driven (like the OD of the cylinder that constitutes the screw, or the pitch values used for the helical sweep ) are not eligible as variable elements or dimensions either (google results suggested you sometimes need to set the features/dimensions that are parameterized as variable before you use the variable parameters option, but this hasn't worked for me) My next idea is to just

Is there a limit to the length of the mapkey that I can run in the BaseSession.RunMacro(String mapkey) command in JLink toolkit? I have code that dynamically generates a mapkey to extend its functionality. I group all the mapkey parts that it generates together in one long String. Then I run that macro right before returning control to Creo. I decided to do it this way, to make the mapkey run sequentially.Depending on the number of parts in the assembly, this mapkey becomes long. Very long. Creo hangs when control is returned to it. I can only force quit Creo at that point. The debugger runs until the end of the code and then returns control to Creo, and it starts to hang. On shorter mapkeys, it is not a problem. Control returns to Creo. The mapkey gets executed. The code functions. The problematic mapkey is 4000 lines and 200 000 characters long. Is it known what the limit is? Either a formal limit or a practical limit? Then I could decide when to develop or use a workaround

Hi, I am currently converting legacy drawings drawn using AutoCAD into 3D models and draft 2D from the 3D models. I would like to draft these 2D in such a way that is applicable for all the regions. For example, we would like to show the annotations in Japanese if it's been accessed from Japan, or in English with metric units if it is accessed from India or in English with imperial units if it's been accessed from US. As all the three formats use a common ".PRT"/".ASM" file, is there any recommended way to meet my requirement without the need for creating multiple ".DRW" files? Thanks in advance. Software: CREO Parametric 6.0

I am looking to take a class that will walk me through creating a sketch from scratch and add features/cutouts/extrude etc Which class/classes do you recommend?

It would be helpful if there was a way to call a special check profile in the condition.mcc whenever the model contains one or more parameters that begin with "USR_". This would, for example, prevent extra parameters from being deleted in ModelCHECK whenever a parameter that begins with USR_ is present. Or is there another way to delete all parameters in a model except those beginning with "USR_" or "CONF_"? This would, for example, help bring old data up to date.Here two  examples:IF (CONF_*) config=(check/mat.mch)(check/kon.mch)(start/mat_mm.mcs)(start/kon_mm.mcs)(constant/mm.mcn)(status/status.mcq) (name/Configurator_File)IF (USR_*) config=(check/mat.mch)(check/usr.mch)(start/mat_mm.mcs)(start/usr_mm.mcs)(constant/mm.mcn)(status/status.mcq) (name/Userparameter_File)

Hello,  We encountered the following message (shown in the first picture) multiple times when saving a Mathcad file that contains an object from AutoCAD LT 2024 (inserted using the "Insert Option"). After saving and reopening the Mathcad file, the AutoCAD object is deleted, as shown in the second picture. We found this issue on all machines running Windows 10 & 11. Kindly advise on how to resolve this matter.I am using Mathcad Prime Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.0     

Hi everyone, I recently downloaded Creo 11 on a machine with Creo 7 in order to test something. After deciding to test on my virtual machine, I uninstalled Creo 11. I now get this error in Creo 7: When checking the logs, the error reads: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION has occurred in the thread 3772. I've tried clearing cache and reinstalling. Any ideas?

Prime 9 File attached.  

I attached abbreviated work sheets. Question regards echo sheet. How do I pass secondary ohms to the matrix?  I can't seem to define the values as ohm(sec) in the matrix.  Secondary ohms are (ohms value) multiplied by (CTRW/PTRY).  I have a hunch that I don't have units set correctly in the definitions area. I made an attempt at showing values using the table function.  That was a train wreck except I can set units as secondary ohms.

Is there a way to imbed the str2num function into a lookup? Is there a means to automate renaming or concatenation of the variables in the first column of the text file? What is the type of variable is ["600"] ?  I guess it's not a string variable?

I'm using Creo 9.0.9.0 When I open the Creo Parameteric Options window, via the command File -> Options -> Options the window the dialog window that pops up is so wide that the options are  not on the screen. They are shoved off-screen to the left. I can't resize the window with the usual Windows arrow keys, mouse clicks, etc. It will let me make the window wider, but does not allow any decrease of window width.  Is there a way to access the window settings for this dialog to correct this situation? I tried looking for any sort of settings in the Windows registry, but nothing seems to be stored there.

Hello everyone!I have a spare PC to use in case my current PC crashes. Is it possible to install Prime on both PCs using the same license? (Sorry for my ignorance!)Thank you for your reply.Regards.

I've now gone from Prime 10 Express to Prime 11 Express,  This allows me to see worksheets that have been created in Prime 11.  However, does anybody know if there are any technical or other capabilities in Prime 11 Express that are not available in Prime 10 Express?  I can't find any.   Alan 

Workflow for creating an assembly process animation video using an explode state in Creo Parametric  

Gentlemen, please evaluate my attempts to perform the development of an inclined cone, maybe there are comments and something can be corrected or replaced?

HiDoes anyone know how I can export my multifluid results from a transient creo parametric flow analysisI am using Creo Parametric 12.4.0The button "save animation" does not work  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.6.0How to identify any part used in what are the assemblies?Basically, need to know, in how many assemblies, the specific part been used.

Hello All, Is mathcad prime-9 generally slowly in terms of Auto calculation or refreshing the values?  Also, if i change a variable , a lot of calculation  turns into a light font as if it is still processing the values as i am showing below.  Seriously terrible as compared with mathcad 15. Thanks,Sam

Looks like there's a way in China of converting Mathcad 15 spreadsheets to Maplehttps://www.bilibili.com/video/BV181421z7aJ/

While creating a part with Model Based Definition utilizing semantic references, when we select an annotation, the edges and related surfaces highlight, but in a way that’s hard to distinguish edges/surfaces. When we select “Semantic Query” the highlights are much more obvious and useful. Looking for a method or setting for making the “Semantic Query”-style highlight for annotations the default behavior (without having to click semantic query first). Snapshots of the current behavior and desired behavior when selecting annotations that contain semantic references below.  Current behavior upon annotation selection: Desired behavior upon annotation selection:(Note: image above shown utilizing semantic query, desire is for that step to not be necessary)

Hi guys, I am having some issues with matchad, as soon as i move to another page I am not gettig units in my cal so this above is from same worksheet but outcome is different and i am wonderign its something to do with settings? Thank you Antony  culaton and the previous page is working fine can someone tell possibly whats going on?

Good morning everyone,I’m working in Creo Parametric 9.0, and I’d like to know whether it’s possible to directly convert a standard sketch into a cosmetic sketch, without needing to recreate the geometry from scratch.So far, I haven’t found a straightforward method, I'm wondering if there’s a dedicated feature or workaround that allows this kind of conversion.If anyone has experience with this or knows an efficient solution, I'd greatly appreciate your input.Thank you in advance for your support!
